17 March 2008

On March 17, everyone is both Irish and a member of a bar association.

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, Irish legal blogger Daithí Mac Sithigh hosts Blawg Review #151 at his Lex Ferenda blog. For those of you struggling today to find your way back to a fully-upright and locked position, #151 offers the best of last week's legal blogging in a single compact post. Highlights include notable links from the Irish blogosphere, turning Japanese (jury-wise, at least), and the comings-and-goings of the political class (or classless as the case might be) on Saint Patrick's Day. The TechnoLawyer blog hosts next week's review.

About Me

I am presently corporate counsel for Accela, Inc., a software company headquartered in San Ramon, California and am a member of both the Oregon and California State Bars. More detailed professional information is available at my LinkedIn profile.

I have been blogging at Infamy or Praise since early 2005. From 2006 to 2009, I served as a "Sherpa" at Blawg Review, the weekly carnival of legal blogging; I have also hosted (or co-hosted) six editions of Blawg Review, the first four of which were awarded a "Blawg Review of the Year" award. I formerly was a co-blogger at Unsilent Partners. I'm on Twitter as "colinsamuels".

I am the author of "Humanizing the Profession: Lawyers Find Their Public Voices Through Blogging" (11 Nexus L. J. 89 (2006)) and a contributing author to "Blogging and Other Social Media" (Gower Publishing Limited, 2008) and "Legal Profession: Modern Approach" (The Icfai University Press, 2008).

None of the foregoing blogging, tweeting, or personal writing necessarily represents the views of my employer; responsibility for these is entirely mine.
